Chris had enjoyed his afternoon more than he wanted to admit. Ann was
amazing and so beautiful on the playgrounds. How could he doubt his
feelings for her? It was hard enough getting people to leave them alone.
Everywhere they went someone asked if they were a couple. It was hurt in
her eyes whenever he had said no. Well he'd change that tonight she would
be his forever. Yes tonight he would ask her to be his girlfriend and if he
was lucky it would end the war that is killing more people then he wished
to count.
Ann Couldn't wait for tonight. Chris had asked her to come to Lord's Hall. Of course she would have to show the gun he gave her to the men outside because with the trouble brewing they would have a tight security this week.
Ann quietly climbed down the balcony wall and landed just fine when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Ann going somewhere without me? I'm hurt."
"Rich I'm sorry but I just have to go. See I was invited to this party and I won't miss it."
"Ok then I'll go too."
Ann thought long and hard. He was wasting time that she needed to get out and to Chris. Why is he so persistent on keeping an eye on her.
"Well you weren't invited and I won't take someone else cause then they'll think I'm uncomfortable and not invite me again."
Rich just nodded and watched her leave. This time she wouldn't go where she wasn't supposed to he would follow and make sure she didn't run off and to the wrong side of town. If he just walked through the front gate no one would think that she was off somewhere.
Ann waited in a line for around 10 minutes before she saw 2 guys just walk past everyone and to the front flash a gun and get in. So that was the secret to get in there so fast. Ann ducked under the roped line and walked to the front. The guard eyed her suspiciously and she then pulled the gun out of her coat and showed it to him. The guard moved aside but not before grabbing her arm and whispering where to find Chris.
She walked to the dance floor and just glided to the beaded curtain. She stood there for a minute before the man named Jake walked up to her and took her behind the curtain.
"Chris is a little detained at the moment. One of your guys tried to get in a minute ago and he has to make sure that he doesn't do it again."
"Where is Chris please tell me?"
"Upstairs. (Ann dashes up the stairs) You can't go in there!"
Ann didn't care she wanted to be with Chris but she just couldn't allow someone to hurt her people and get away with it. She pushed open Chris's door to his apartment and stopped in fright. Rich was tied to a chair and was bleeding from his nose. Chris sat across from him angry. When Chris looked up and saw her he jumped up ran to her grabbed her by the arm and pulled her out of the room.
Once they were clear from everyone who could hear them her pulled her close and held her. No matter how hard she pushed to free herself he just held her tighter. After she gave up fighting he then released her.
"Ann what are you doing up here? You shouldn't have seen that."
"How could I not? Why are you doing that to Rich he's done nothing wrong?"
"Of course he did. Do you really think that I would harm him if he were just trying to get in the club? No you know I wouldn't but he pulled out his gun and waved it in front of our guard. What was he to do just let him do that when he just might have been threatening him?"
"All I know is that I left him at my house cause I said I was going to a party. He was there when I left then I come here and he's getting the crap beat out of him. Most terrible of all you were the one who was doing the beating."
"Now Ann you only saw a small part of it. I was sitting in the chair when he wouldn't give me a straight answer my men would hit him, not me. How can you think that I would harm a friend of yours?"
Chris held her gaze for a moment then looked out the window at the end of the hall. How could he make her understand how hard it is to love her but at the same time do what he has to without having the men complain. He had to uphold his fathers trust balance her and be a Lord. How could she think that he was so willing to do all this? He already has the men thinking that he's some prissy boy who can't even take care of his own problems.
Ann wouldn't look away even if he avoided her stare she would not look away and admit defeat. She would stare until he had to look at her. She would be strong. He was hurting though she saw it in his eyes when he looked away. Why was he hurting he wasn't the one being punched? She was confused.
"Chris?"
Chris wouldn't look at her he couldn't look into those blue eyes that would peirce his soul and tell her everything in just one look. He had to avoid them but how she wants an answer and he had to give it. He didn't look at her.
"I wouldn't harm him you know it. I just have to live up to my fathers position and that means doing what has to be done for security."
"I know but why do you have to be there?"
"Because I have to be. I'm next in line to run the Lord's and this is my joint so I have to be the one who makes sure there are no threats."
Chris pulled away and felt the cold hit the front of him like a wave. No longer did he hold her to him and keep him warm with her body. Chris pushed the feelings aside and walked back to the room. When he went in he gave the order to take him back to his side of town and then for them all to leave he had company and he wasn't about to let anything stop him from what he had to say to her.
Ann sat on the couch and stared at him with the blue pools of her eyes. What was she thinking? Did she think he was an ugly person for what he did? Would she understand that he tried to make it as easy as he could for this Rich guy. What was he to her anyways? Was he the only guy she cared about was he who she longed for when she fell into a sleeping state? Was he her dream? No he couldn't think of it she came to him tonight. This guy had followed her. Oh no was he in love with her? Did she trail him along unknowingly? Probably she did have that effect.
"Chris so what's the big surprize?"
"Huh what'd you say? The surprize, well ahh how could you know about that...No matter I'l just tell you anyways."
"Tell me what?"
"Tell you that I think... I think I'm in love with you. I know I know it's so unbelievable and I can only imagine how upset you are after seeing what was done to Rich."
Chris spat the word instead of saying it.
